for those of you out there who are not mad-gadget fiends, none this is really going to be of much interest to you i don’t think, consider yourselves warned..
nokia have announced their latest and greatest phone, the n900. what separates this from the “super-hype” of the n97 (and the subsequent let down as well) is that they have come out and said that this a computer first, and a mobile phone second. which, when you think about it, is a massive shift for nokia who have always prided themselves on being a phone rather than a computer. the iphone is a computer first and a phone second, allowing it to deliver amazing transitions and awesome gaming experiences. hopefully, the n900 is able to match the iphone in this regard, but im not excited by games. im excited by the internet. the n97 gives a pretty good experience of the web with in-browser flash and tabbed browsing (in opera 5 at least) – the n900 brings the power of a mozilla browser to the handset which i am very excited to see. you can have a squiz here. another thing you should be excited to see is the new generation of maemo which is an opensource linux operating system- what does this mean? put simply, heaps of nerds will be able to build heaps of cool things for this device. the issue that i have with apple is the limitations it puts on its users and developers (still no google voice on the app store!? WHY!?) and i think that the open platform of symbian/maemo/android will be embraced and possible spell the demise of the iphones stranglehold on the mobile phone industry. now, dont misquote me, i didnt say the death of the iphone, but the end of the stranglehold that iphones have on mobile internet traffic today. but that is getting very off topic and will need to be discussed another day. anyhow, you can find out more about the n900 and the exciting new generation of maemo platform at nokia’s official site..
